Data analysis is becoming increasingly important to pursue organizational goals, especially in the context of Industry 4.0, where a wide variety of data is available. Here numerous challenges arise, especially when using unstructured data. However, this subject has not been focused by research so far. This research paper addresses this gap, which is interesting for science and practice as well. In a study three major challenges of using unstructured data has been identified: analytical know-how, data issues, variety. Additionally, measures how to improve the analysis of unstructured data in the industry 4.0 context are described. Therefore, the paper provides empirical insights about challenges and potential measures when analyzing unstructured data. The findings are presented in a framework, too. Hence, next steps of the research project and future research points become apparent.
Digitalization and enterprise architecture management: a perspective on benefits and challenges
(2023)
Many companies digitally transform their business models, processes, and services. They have also been using Enterprise Architecture Management approaches for a long time to synchronize corporate strategy and information technology. Such digitalization projects bring different challenges for Enterprise Architecture Management. Without understanding and addressing them, Enterprise Architecture Management projects will fail or not deliver the expected value. Since existing research has not yet addressed these challenges, they were investigated based on a qualitative expert study with leading industry experts from Europe. Furthermore, potential benefits of digitalization projects for Enterprise Architecture Management were researched. Our results provide a theoretical framework consisting of five identified challenges, triggers and a number of benefits. Furthermore, we discuss in what ways digitalization and EAM is a promising topic for future research.
